I was sat this morning flicking through a lovely book about 'seed bombs' whilst I had my first cuppa of the day, it is a beautifully presented & illustrated book on how to make 'seed bombs', with a little background on the writer Josie Jeffrey, who has a great approach to nature, and urban life.
Seed bombs are getting more & more popular & you can either make your own from scratch or buy kits with everything you need, they have become more popular since guerrilla gardening has been talked about more in the press (Basically people getting together to make waste land & neglected urban areas more of a haven for wild life, & much more pleasant to look at!)
I think it is a great idea, and what a fantastic thing to make with kids while they are on their school holidays, not only will they be learning about seeds & helping to grow plants but they will have the added bonus of getting their hands dirty, and for once it is a pastime where the rain actually helps things along a little & as the rain seems to be around a fair bit these summer holidays we may as well embrace it!
There is a little film to watch which Josie has made & her book can be found on amazon for £8.99.
